Val would definitely think it was better for them to die "free" in an avalanche he caused than live as a slave lol

Get a butter knife or instrument with blunt metal tip. Insert between lid and jar, and slide to tightest part of seal. Cantilever until you hear 'pop' sound. Open. Congratulations, now you never need to marry someone to open pickle jars for you again.

Pops them right open. There are more "modern" varieties but they tend to have needlessly many moving parts, depend on a weak plastic hinge (though the ones I see of this type online have beefed that part up since I last looked, which is good), or are just a tool for grip without leverage that can be really hard on some hands. Or they mount under a cabinet because apparently you only want to open jars in one particular spot?

How many uncles does this kid have?

I'm enjoying this strip, thanks for posting it. The art isn't to my taste, but the writing is pretty funny, even if the joke is basically the same all the time. It reminds me of some of the really old strips that get posted here in that way. It could stand to lay off the last bit of dialogue where the straight man gets in the final word though.

Somebody pointed that out in the discord too. My response was "You know what they say about making omelettes."

Hippocrass: Aug 18, 2015; That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.
